    great for cooking to use instead of butter or oil and also good for energy before a run and drinking a full glass of water and eating it raw before meal to feel fuller heres a link http://www.livestrong.com/article/285473-pros-cons-of-coconut-oil-for-dieting-weight-loss/

    I just started using virgin coconut oil (I think it's the same as coconut butter?). I only started yesterday so it's too soon for results but I'm interested to hear people's experiences :)

    I like to spread 1 Tbsp coconut oil on whole wheat toast with 1 tsp ground cinnamon at breakfast & eat that with some fruit &/or nuts, but I'm weird so I don't know if that sounds good to anyone else :P

    If I use 1 T raw virgin coconut oil a day, I feel like I have a significant improvement in my mood and feel less hungry throughout the day, but in terms of fat loss I fail to see how consuming 120-360 extra calories a day helps unless you're exercising more to compensate.

    then again I hear other people (who claim they don't even exercise) swear by its magical weight loss powers as if it's more than just a healthy fat... Maybe I'm doin' it wrong lol
